    A unique fun gaming experience, pokemon at it's very best. The battling is fun and breathtaking, whilst the story-line keeps you entertained until the elite four. Thouroughly enjoyable, worth every penny.

    This game is a perfect remake of the red and blue versions-the graphics have been remastered , the gameplay is fantastic and it powerfully engages its audience. May i reccomend that you start the game with Charmander and pick up a Pikachu in viridian forest early and evolve it after it learns thunderbolt - beleive me youll need a good electric type. From there , enjoy yourself and burn This game is a perfect remake of the red and blue versions-the graphics have been remastered , the gameplay is fantastic and it powerfully engages its audience.

    9 / 8 / 8 / 8 - 33 gold [Vol 798; 30 Jan 2004]
  2. This game was built to appeal to both the veterans of the series and the new folks just itching to give Pokemon a try. It's a fair bet that the fans will get this game without much hesitation.

    If you like wasting small bits of time here and there with your GBA - and especially if you're new to the series - this is still the best thing you get get on the portable. [Nov 2004, p.134]
